Disseminated dermatological symptoms in chronic cases of Neurocutaneous Syndrome (NCS) or Morgellons
نویسنده
چکیده
We are reporting on eight cases of chronic Neurocutaneous Syndrome (NCS) exhibiting extreme dermatological symptoms. Dermatological symptoms are usually preceded by intermediate neurological stages of crawling and pin pricking sensations. We have published many articles on NCS but pictures of extreme dermatology and associated cases have not been previously reported. The photos included in this report were taken during initial examination at Parasitology Center, Inc. (PCI) between 1993 and 2004. We have developed a protocol that successfully resolves the symptoms of NCS. “Delusional parasitosis” and Morgellons disease cases should be assigned to NCS and treated as such.

متن کاملCharacterization and evolution of dermal filaments from patients with Morgellons disease
Morgellons disease is an emerging skin disease characterized by formation of dermal filaments associated with multisystemic symptoms and tick-borne illness. Some clinicians hypothesize that these often colorful dermal filaments are textile fibers, either self-implanted by patients or accidentally adhering to lesions, and conclude that patients with this disease have delusions of infestation. We...
